Robotics engineer Dylan Glas talks about a Erica, an android system that worked as newscaster on Japanese TV and his recent visit to Pakistan
Dylan Glas is a Senior Robotics Software Architect at Futurewei Technologies, a research division of Huawei in Silicon Valley. He was previously a senior researcher in social robotics at Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratories at ATR and a Guest Associate Professor at the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory at Osaka University. He was the chief architect for the ERICA android in the ERATO Ishiguro Symbiotic Human-Robot Interaction Project. His research interests include social human-machine interaction, ubiquitous sensing, network robot systems, teleoperation for social robots, and machine learning.
Recent projects include the use of machine learning in behavior design for social robots, pedestrian tracking and behavior analysis, teleoperation systems for navigation and communication, and communication robot systems for the elderly.
Dylan received his Ph.D. in robotics from Osaka University in 2013, in the Department of Systems Innovation under Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro. He was awarded his M.Eng in Aerospace Engineering from MIT in 2000 and two S.B. degrees, one in Aerospace Engineering and one in Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, also from MIT in 1997. While at MIT, he worked for two years in the Tangible Media Group at the MIT Media Lab under Prof. Hiroshi Ishii while simultaneously researching commercial applications of reusable launch vehicle technologies.
Outside of academia, Dylan has worked as a software consultant and web designer, as well as spending three years as a high school teacher. He also worked in Jerusalem as a volunteer instructor in the MEET program, a technology education initiative designed to help develop relationships and common ground between Israelis and Palestinians.
He lived in Japan for fifteen years, and outside of his research he enjoys photography, nature, playing go, and singing a cappella.
Dr Dylan Glas are interested in what makes a human. Erica is their latest creation - a semi-autonomous android, product of the most funded scientific project in Japan. However, these men regard themselves as artists more than scientists, and the Erica project is a philosophical one as much as technological one
Erica is interviewed about her hope and dreams - to be able to leave her room and to be able to move her arms and legs. She likes to chat with visitors and has one of the most advanced speech synthesis systems yet developed. Can she be regarded as being alive or as a comparable being to ourselves? Will she help us to understand ourselves and our interactions as humans better
